Book description
Some of Lucy Sinclair's best days were those spent growing up in
small town St Dennis - working at the family inn and enjoying summers
filled with swimming, sailing, tennis and the company of Clay Madison,
her best friend. But Lucy's darkest day, the one that shattered her
innocence with violence and fear, also happened in St Dennis. And the
town she once loved became the place she gladly left behind - along
with the terrible secret she's kept for twenty years.
While Lucy headed off for college and a career, Clay remained - more
than satisfied with the life St Dennis had to offer. But now, even
after inheriting his family's thriving farm and starting up an organic
brewery, he can't help feeling that something's missing. And when Lucy
comes back to town to plan a celebrity wedding at the Sinclair family
inn, she and Clay reconnect, and find themselves re-evaluating their
long-sleeping friendship that could blossom into something deeper.
Like a book end to those distant childhood days, this summer will be
Lucy's chance to finally confront her hidden pain, make peace with the
past and plan her own whole new future.
